Pictures from Georgetown, Penang
George Town is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. It is named after Britain’s King George III. Countless Chinese and Indian temples, neoclassical reminders of the Raj and a gazillion old-fashioned little shops make Georgetown a fascinating place to wander.
It was listed by UNESCO in 2008 as a World Heritage Site and that might preserve it in its beauty for the next generations to enjoy. Than again I did see so many houses that look like they will break into little pieces any time soon.
The bus dropped me at the ferry terminal.
The famous bridge to Penang

Looking for a Roti place – need breakfast!
Early Straits Eclectic Style – build around 1890 to 1910.

That was once a nice mansion. Now they surrounded it with ugly.
Where is the Roti place?
Getting closer…
One of the many many clan temples
At the end of the street where you see the little green bush. That is where the Roti is made and that is where I had some that morning.
The same Early Straits Eclectic Style – hope they will fix them soon.
Another temple
Little India
Finally I found the Miss Linda of Georgetown – only a toilet is missing…
I had Roti for breakfast every day and I could eat them in the afternoon as well!
Had my last Roti here before I took the Mini Bus towards Thailand

What the heck is roti – broken apart pancakes?
The traditional flat bread originating from South Asia is known as roti; pronounced “rho tee”. It is normally eaten with cooked vegetables or curries; it can be called a carrier for curries or cooked vegetables. It is made most often from wheat flour, cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called a tawa. That is the definition. They make a really thin – almost see through piece of roti. Than you put it on the hot griddle and fold it there. If you like they put egg and onion or only onion or banana in it. than you fold it together so it is very very fluffy – hmmmmmm – than you have a good curry to dip = heaven!!
